The N.C. Center for Missing Persons has issued a Silver Alert for Carol Lynn Petersen, 22, of Hendersonville. She was last seen Tuesday, Jan. 7. Anyone with information about Petersen is asked to contact the Henderson County Sheriff's Office at 828-697-4911.

Maj. Frank Stout with the Henderson County Sheriff's Office said she was last seen with her boyfriend, Brian Keith Medley, about three days ago at 3 Westbridge Drive.

"From a law enforcement perspective, we need to make sure she's OK physically and emotionally, but to do that we need to be able to locate her," Stout said. "We have not been able to do that, so we're reaching out to the public."

Stout said Medley is believed to be driving an older two-wheel-drive blue Toyota pickup truck.
